Find a happy place!

In an effort to improve overall health, decided that I would try some beginner's yoga. Gigi has a DVD with an morning and evening routine. Just about 20 minutes a piece. I did the evening last night. Wow! There are some parts of me that haven't had much stretching in a long, long time. It felt good. It was a good stress reliever and I think I got to sleep more comfortably--not that I have ever had much trouble getting to bed. Additionally, the routine really seemed to, uh--how do I word this delicately--move things along?

This morning I tried the AM which focuses on rejuvenation and meditation. I enjoyed it also. It finishes with the meditation and I really liked that part. Very relaxing.

I spoke with my chiropractor about it and he thinks the yoga is a great idea. By gaining some flexibility and strengthening of the joints and limbs, you prepare your body for additional exercise--which is something I hope to do more of.

So, love the results, but will I take the time to do it daily? That remains to be seen.
